Mazar Restaurant in Leeds

I ordered 1/2 chicken with rice. Lovely late night meal!

this place has very nice staff good service very fast food and it was underrated this place deserved more

What a taste of home food, specially qabili palaw mantu uffffff…. Mouth watering.

Hi, This is our third order from Mazar... This time it was a group order for 6 people... The food was really tasty.. just this time, the rice quantity was a little bit lower than the first time... But still we had a decent quantity of rice... For all the kerala people, the mandhi tasted exactly like kerala mandhi ... Must try...

If you're searching for the finest Afghan cuisine in West Yorkshire, look no further! This gem of a restaurant delivers on every front, offering an exceptional dining experience with authentic, flavorful dishes that are both fresh and lovingly prepared. The portions are generous, and the meat is perfectly tender, bursting with rich, aromatic spices. Every bite feels like a celebration of Afghan culture and culinary tradition. With a diverse menu, there’s something for everyone—but I highly recommend the mixed grill for a mouthwatering variety of meats, the creamy Firni, and the indulgent Sheer Yakh ice cream for dessert. What truly sets this place apart is the heart behind the food. I learned that everything, from the spices to the meat, is prepared in-house, with their chefs even cutting the meat themselves! The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel like part of the family, adding a personal touch to the whole experience. I can’t wait to return, time and time again. This is one of those places where you leave not just satisfied, but with a smile, knowing you've discovered something special. Highly recommend! Thank you for such an amazing experience.

The food is extremely delicious, staff are very friendly and kind, best service I’ve ever seen since I came to Leeds.

Really appreciate guys We went too late it was almost their closing time but still the were being kind to us and served us patiently The owner the staffs were too friendly the meals were best of the quality and tasty really liked here and soon we will be back…

You will struggle to find a better place to eat if you enjoy a good curry. The chicken charsi karahai on the bone is simply the best. Honestly cannot fault it.

Very authentic afghani food. Tasty and hot. They have got very good hall downstairs for social gatherings. Liked it

Very good stuff Also nice good Recommend to this place

Delicious food and very nice sheer yakh

Went there with a friend and we thoroughly enjoyed the authentic food and lovely staff

Food is really nice and their service was quick and professional.

long waiting always not good service

The food is really good, ordered Qabuli Pilau several times & mantu both of which were made really nicely. The hospitality is amazing mashaAllah. They also have a downstairs area where you can hold functions and seating area.

Lovely food, lovely staff, can't fault x

Starters good however karahis very poor. Service appalling!

The dishes were so good, me and my friends who ate Afghan dishes for the first time, we loved it. The service was also very friendly. I recommend.

Delicious afghani food, we went for the Ramadan Iftar buffet which was only £17.50. Was very good value for money.

Great food and very nice staff.

Very approachable and active staff

Very delicious the best restaurant

Fantastic food fantastic place reasonable price nice place for family An absolute delight! This Afghan cuisine restaurant has nailed it in every aspect. The lentil soup starter was delicious and a great intro to what else the restaurants has to offer. The charchi karahi offering a delightful blend of traditional Afghan spices. Service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and ensuring a seamless dining experience. Affordability was a pleasant surprise considering the high-quality dishes. In summary, this restaurant is a must-try for anyone seeking authentic Afghan cuisine. From taste to service to value, it earns its well-deserved five-star rating.

Great quantity, amazing food, must try if you want Arab food.

Amazing food and amazing service. Lovely place to dine in

Excellent food generously served. Lamb pieces with lovely pilau rice plus meatballs in well spiced gravy, served with salad and spice dip, yoghurt and fresh cooked naan all for £12.

After bad experiences with food quality at another nearby afghan restaurant I started coming to this restaurant. However on a couple of occasions within last two months I was disappointed. Food taste was mediocre and it was undercooked. I wonder if they have lost the original shef.

If you're looking for great grill and best middle eastern food then you must try this place. Their kebabs and food are really delicious.

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times, the food is extremely fresh and comes in large portions, the Nan bread was cooked perfectly. The staff went above and beyond to keep us happy and gave us extra sides and a complimentary soup. Lovely restaurant, highly recommend.

Very good food. Qabuli pilau and lamb charsi karhai is fantastic! Must try it👍🏼👍

Wow first time here but amazing food , and service far better than other competitive restaurant in the same area must try Mazar. Portion size is so generous and gives you extras with no shock to bills. Very reasonable prices Hope they will keep the service and food quality at the same level in future. Keep it up 👍

The food was great, and the service was quick

Went with my friend to have lunch, food was good, service was bit slowwww

Only best place for good Afghan food in Leeds

Best Afghan Restaurant and Takeaway in Leeds. The Lamb charsi and Kobeda were delicious! The Afghan rice with lamb is also superb.

What a pathetic restaurant. Whole restaurant is empty and still spent 15 mins sitting that somebody will take the order but nobody came to take the order ultimately had to leave to try chopan which is much quicker in service. Learn idiots learn how to serve and take orders 🤬🤬🤬🤬 u r already famous for you slow sleepy service.

The restaurant is fine. Staff is very nice as well. Couple of points as an advise: 1. Chapli kebab quality and size not consistent. The first time i tried it was of good size with no smell in beef. The next time i tried the size reduced also i and my wife observed a smell in beef as well. 2. Chicken karahi (charsi): Overall good but highly inconsistent quality. 3. Chicken mandi i tried once and was very good. 4. Qabuli pulao: Very poor. Chopan has far more better qabuli pulao with tender pink meat. Regards

Their chicken mandi was spot on as well as uzbeki pulao, went there all the way from bradford and it was worth every penny

Was going to the place next door but decided to try this place and it defo didn’t disappoint. Service was friendly and efficient. The food was amazing. They have a floor seating arrangement downstairs which is traditional, authentic and added to the experience. Downside is cash only

The food was really delicious, tasty, hot, was presented in a great way and in a perfect portion. The staff was very friendly and kind, the restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was great. If you want to taste some food that you'll never forget, you need to go to this restaurant, I highly recommend it. 😍 😁

The food was fantastic. And the service was awsum.

Lovely and clean restaurant. Staff was very friendly. Waiting time was slightly long but food is definitely worth to wait for. Ordered mixed grill for two and mantu. Portions are large and we took half of the food away. Everything was very tasty, large selection of palaws. Bread - out of this world. Definitely come back again and would recommend.

I always enjoy it here. Good food, great value, spotlessly clean. Worth a try if you fancy something different. The Mantu is delicious.

Good Afghani food with reasonable prices. The best part is they give free lentil soup and kofta curry that tastes delicious. Kabli palaw was okay but chicken tikka was very flavorful. Food portion was generous in relation to the prices. The service can be improved a little bit. Overall good experience.

I highly recommend the restaurant "Delightful Bites" for its delectable cuisine and outstanding service. The food is simply delicious, offering a diverse menu with flavors that delight the palate. The attentive and friendly staff ensures a memorable dining experience. Don't miss the opportunity to indulge in their mouthwatering dishes and impeccable service!

Old stale, dried up, warmed up meat. Not good.

Ordered a delivery few days ago for the first time from this place we usually order from their next door Afghan neighbours who are usually very good but last few times they let us so we decided to try Mazar. The order was last which I personally think was not their fault as they use 3rd party Just Eat Drivers. Anyhow, the Kobeda Kebab was very dry in fact very very dry and had a strange smell to it, it might just be me since everyone makes different ways in different places so it might just be me but it was definitely dry. The charsi karahi could have been cooked a bit more as it was slightly hard to tear the chicken down. The Lamb Chops were Definitely Not Lamb 100%, they're more like mutton or old sheep chops. Lamb Chops are supposed to be juicy and tender but these chips were rubbery and full of fat. The naan breads were too thick and a bit Doughy meaning not Cooked Properly From Inside. The rest was pretty much ok, we had Qabauli Pilau which I would say was definitely better then their next door Afghan Neighbours. These guys can definitely concentrate on their green mint/chutney a bit more even though it was still not bad. All in all not very bad but slight concentration can be much better by the staff or management. I'm sorry if I was harsh but that was my personal honest opinion. Thanks

The food was a solid 10/10 with generously sized portions and the staff were very hospitable and lovely. Will definitely be coming again.

I’m a regular customer at this restaurant and it never disappoints!

Halal food. Cash only. Rice was quite oily, but vegetables and meat tasted fresh. Order was taken a bit late, service not as good. No carrot juice as advertised :( but fresh orange juice was good! Good price

Really delicious food! One of the best Arabic cuisines in Leeds. Definitely recommend. Karahi and qabuli mahecha are my favourites. Their garlic naan is a must. It's a bit oily for my liking.. But delicious.

Incredible lamb chops :) delicious savoury rice and salad, chutney and perfect naan. I collected and waited and wasn't disappointed. I would absolutely order from here again. Thank you, I shall see you again soon!

Love the Kabuli Pulao, everytime I come to Leeds I try to visit this place to try the Kabuli Pulao

Amazing food, excellent services nd good pricing. Strongly recommend

Plate no. 1 is £11 Plate no. 2 is £11 The food is very nice and lovely. I will say 5 stars. The rice is very reduced and does not fit what we have paid for, you may think you save money but in fact, you could loose customers on the long term. Please take it into your consideration. You give sample of rice and sample of salad. Thank you

The food was absolutely gorgeous! Everything fresh and cooked to perfection and the service was excellent, couldn’t be happier with the experience

Lovely friendly place with an extensive menu ranging from veggie options to fine meats. Recommend the saag paneer, would eat it for breakfast, lunch and….tea

Great clean restraunt great food good prices And portions, Never leave hungry staff are very polite every thing I’ve tried here has been spot on staff are very polite and helpful cannot fault any aspect of this place

Really nice buffet with friendly staff.

Service and food were amazing. The staff made sure to take care of us and the food blew away any expectations. 100% recommend

Incredible atmosphere, incredible staff, incredible food - just wow.

Always a great meal at Mazar. The best Qabuli palaw anywhere in Yorkshire, for sure. The atmosphere and service are great too. If you have a dietary requirement, there's a lot of options to suit most people. Gluten-free, particularly, tons of items on the menu with no gluten and vegetarian versions of most things.

Just had a delivery from here. Must say I was blown away. Lovely food. Will be trying again

After reading a couple of reviews, a few of us decided to check this place out. From the street you could easily walk/drive past this place without noticing it but, for those who are fortunate to notice and venture in, they're in for a treat. As soon as we entered, staff were on hand. Very polite, friendly and very welcoming. We were shown to our table and given menus. A lot of the items I'd never heard of and the staff explained in detail what the dishes were and, also recommended a few to us. The complimentary soup was delicious (we ordered naans to go with the soup, the naans were made fresh and were piping hot - delicious). We all ordered starters and mains, the food came and we weren't disappointed with any of the dishes, in fact, we were all pleasantly surprised. The food (all of it) was fantastic. This place is definitely a good find. Highly recommended and, we'll definitely be back.

This place is a hidden gem . I cannot believe that more people don’t go here . Amazing food and friendly service . Love it 😍

Very tasty afghani cuisine Recommended!!

This is an undiscovered gem... authentic freshly cooked Afghan food and friendly and pleasant service. Value for money, generous portions and fresh high quality ingredients consistently good standards. This is now my favourite Middle and Near Eastern restaurant in Leeds.

Very good service, friendly staff, always treated well with top quality food. Will definitely go back again soon

I have eaten here on a few occasions now. Each time I have been amazed by the quality of food and service. It was by chance I stumbled across this gem!! Honestly, I can’t rate this place enough.

Food is very delicious but the service is a bit slow and not organized. However, the taste of food makes you forget about all.

Absolutely gorgeous! Accidentally came here after passing by and I will definitely be back. We got the grilled meal for two and everything was so juicy😍

Very nice place it remain from Kabul

Got ribs and asked for no nan bread. Paid same price of £8 A bit steep. The 8 small lamb ribs were quiet thin, with a little fat on them. Ok.

Didn't try lamb and chicken which seem to be more popular. But sad fish to try

Love it!! All the food is so fresh and delicious, like it's home cooked and so flavourful. Lovely friendly team , a must visit in Leeds for sure. And get the Ashak it's amazing

Had booked the room downstairs for a birthday party, food and drinks served by Mazar. It was amazing, the staff were incredible, Brother Saif was really communicative and looked after us before and during the party, food was on point and truly delish. Everyone who works there is super kind and lovely If you're looking for a spot for amazing food this is the place to be and even better that they cater for large groups or parties aswell.

Great experience and staff Very welcoming and delicious fresh food

Wow, it's been a great experience having lamb Mandi with Hyderabad taste. Saif Bhai from restro suggested us good food.

Great food and friendly service. Will visit again!

Had mantus this place ever I found in uk One of best qabli Palace And spot on service for eat in Brilliant experience overall 👏

The best Afghan food in Leeds , really loved the food well cooked and very tasty . I would rate it 10/10

Nothing special, we were the only 2 8n the restaurant we ordered chicken yikka and grilled fish and 2 nan. We were told it would take 15 minutes to serve us. 45 minutes later we were served an overcooked seabass and chicken. Both flavourless and dry. The nan were tasty and the upside was that we were served a small bowl of house soup. I hate to say I won't be back ever! The guys in the restaurant did try but the food was a huge disappointment sadly

Only been here a few times but liked it. The lentil soup you get before a meal is great and the main dishes are also good. Nice friendly service.

Disgusting, left over from weeks, wasn’t even warm enough

Very salty and reheated food not fresh

The food is soo good! A must try!

The food and service is amazing. We ordered lentil soup, mixed grill for 2 and spinach. The portions are big and food tasty and delicious 😋. It is a hidden treasure in Roundhay road Leeds.

Amazing experience. We ordered the lentil soup and mixed grill for 2. The lentil soup was exquisite and the mixed grill made one feel like they had left Leeds and arrived in Kabul. The saffron and raisins in the pilau, as well as a great selection of grilled meats. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's one of the best Afghan restaurants I've been too. Prices are also reasonable for a dine in experience.

Absolutely brilliant authentic Afghani food, great service and experience

Great place to eat, fantastic food.
